The Constitution does not give The VP that power.As far as influence Obama rarely took Bidens advice.
No one in the U.S. government has wielded more influence over Ukraine than Vice President Joe Biden. As the Obama administration’s point person on Ukraine policy,
Ukraine’s government has relied heavily on its direct channel to the U.S. vice president, and Biden’s departure will leave a gaping hole. The vice president’s impact is largely based on the force of his big personality, his backing from Obama

No one in the U.S. government had more decision making ability over Ukraine than President Barack Obama.
You keep changing the key word
This is not about who has "decision making ability" It is about influence...
Joe ran the program he would have a lot of influence....In this job Joe would have more information then the President about Ukraine..... The President put Joe in charge to recommend choices for policy......
Biden wanted to arm Ukraine when Russia invaded Crimea,Obama did not.Ukraine was not armed.That tells you who had more influence over Ukraine.
When Biden recommend to fire a prosecutor....Obama would not micro-manage that type of small world decision
Sending arms to a country the borders Russia....The president is the one to make that call
Thats fake
Biden started the movement to get Shokin out.
Biden then rallied the Europeans to get on board..
Many of the Europeans also had a Hunter deal going and didn't want a prosecutor looking into it
